Story is very fresh right now with several outlets blowing it up as a 'we won!' moment and AOC calling for his arrest for incitement or some shit.
He needs to do a Rubin or something similar as he was the one thing that made people even watch fox sometimes because of his anaylsis. I sense Fox's viewing figures are going to dive again...
Fox actually fired him.
Holy fuck.
This is a terrible blow to getting stories that no one else covered to the mainstream audience.
Some people here are coping and saying this frees Tucker up to be more subversive and bold but this is essentially deplatforming his voice.
This is a sad day for anyone who cares about speaking truth to power and talking about stories the rest of the national media won't even touch.
People think like he actually cares about what he's been reading ideologically. His job was making silly faces while other employees worker on preparing his show (including a host of writers). He's also a rich dude that can just easily retire already if he wants so.
How do you know Fox fired him?
I am not certain but It is my hypothesis since this happened so soon after the huge Dominion settlement.
The left has wanted to deplatform Tucker for a while now and this settlement highlighted to Fox management the risks of keeping Tucker on air.
Tucker will talk about controversial topics that can result in various parties filing lawsuits against Fox.
This whole event screams to me that Fox is focusing on risk mitigation and future lawsuit prevention.
Who else on Fox even has a large audience and talks about controversial topics?
No one else.
They lost the lawsuit because they "knew" Sydney Powell was making unsubstantiated claims and the evidence for that was Tucker saying in corp records that she was lying.
So they're worried about Tucker just telling the truth and getting them sued for what their other hosts are saying.
As long as everybody is on board they can make whatever fake news they want and not get sued because with no evidence they knew it was wrong there's no evidence they did it maliciously.
